About your procedure

Here in Leeds we offer the broadest range of endoscopic procedures of the gastrointestinal tract. This includes diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of the upper GI tract (gastroscopy), colon (colonoscopy) and small bowel (enteroscopy).

In addition we have a small bowel capsule service, perform diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and therapeutic endoscopy of the bile ducts and pancreas (ERCP).

We have a large and experienced workforce, many of whom have been delivering endoscopy for more than 20 years. Endoscopy is performed by doctors, both medical and surgical, and specially trained nurses (nurse endoscopists).

All endoscopists have met the criteria set by the UK national endoscopy body JAG (Joint Advisory Group for Endoscopy) and the Leeds Endoscopy service has been fully accredited by JAG.
